Abstract
An integrated smoking device that provides a bowl for holding smoking material, an ignition source, and a mechanism for delivering ignitable fuel near the smoking material. A user control may trigger both flow and ignition of fuel. The device may include a cover for storing smoking material in the bowl when not in use. The device may be adapted for easy storage of the device in a shirt or pants pocket.
Claims11
An integrated smoking device comprising:
- a housing;
- a bowl disposed in the housing;
- a smoke tube coupled to the bowl at a bowl end allowing gaseous flow from the bowl end to a draw end;
- a fuel aperture associated with a flame assembly for directing fuel for a flame near the bowl and approximately parallel to the bowl;
- an igniter arranged near the fuel aperture so that when the fuel aperture is directing fuel, the igniter ignites the fuel;
- and
- a rotatable arm, said rotatable arm externally and proximately mounted near the bowl, the rotatable arm further comprising the flame assembly and an air intake aperture;
- wherein said rotatable arm has an active position and an inactive position, wherein said rotatable arm is thrust above the housing in the active position and is lowered towards the housing in the inactive position;
- wherein said flame assembly further comprises said fuel aperture, said igniter and a flame aperture;
- a user control arranged such that the user may activate the igniter and cause fuel to flow from the fuel aperture, so as to produce a flame directed at the bowl, in a single operation.
